Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a fleet of vehicles are provided. An operating area of the fleet of vehicles is provided. The operating area is divided into a plurality of regions. An imbalance is determined for each region based on a vehicle supply and a vehicle demand of the region. The imbalances of each region are converted into respective imbalance densities. Fleet optimization is performed based on the respective imbalance densities to reduce an overall vehicle imbalance in the operating area.

A method for operating a fleet of vehicles, comprising:
- providing an operating area of the fleet of vehicles, wherein
- the operating area is divided into a plurality of regions;
- determining, for each region, an imbalance based on a vehicle supply and a vehicle demand of the region;
- converting the imbalances of each region into respective imbalance densities;
- and
- performing fleet optimization based on the respective imbalance densities to reduce an overall vehicle imbalance in the operating area.
A system for operating a fleet of vehicles, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors and comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors to configure the system to:
- provide an operating area of the fleet of vehicles, wherein
- the operating area is divided into a plurality of regions;
- determine, for each region, an imbalance based on a vehicle supply and a vehicle demand of the region;
- convert the imbalances of each region into respective imbalance densities;
- and
- perform fleet optimization based on the respective imbalance densities to reduce an overall vehicle imbalance in the operating area.
